Impact

Insufficient policy enforcement in Chrome DevTools allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to serve a crafted HTML page that can escape the renderer sandbox. This vulnerability, identified as CWE‑693, provides a path for local code execution with the renderer’s privileges, compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the host system.

Affected Systems

All desktop editions of Google Chrome on Windows, macOS, and Linux running a version older than 150.0.7871.47 are impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.6 indicates a severe impact, yet the EPSS score of less than 1 % and the absence from CISA’s KEV catalog suggest limited exploitation in the wild. The attack requires a pre‑existing compromise of the renderer process; delivering a specially crafted HTML page via DevTools can trigger the sandbox escape, resulting in local code execution.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Google Chrome to version 150.0.7871.47 or later to apply the vendor patch.
  • Disable Chrome DevTools through an enterprise policy or a command‑line flag until the patch is applied to prevent the policy bypass.
  • Apply least‑privilege configuration to Chrome process components and limit renderer privileges to mitigate potential exploitation paths.
